I might feel a bit more English (or slightly British!) than French sometimes… but France has always been and will always be my homeland (the place where I was born, because for those of you who know me a bit better, you know I’ve found a second home ;)!!!), so I think it’s absolutely necessary to prepare the French national day as it’s due to be!

Fireworks, picnic, sun, dance… The 14th of July is inevitably a party day!!!! And so as to make the party even crazier, I suggest we learn to make very yummy three-coloured cupcakes together!

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix the butter and the brown sugar until the mixture whiten.

Add the eggs one by one to the butter & sugar mixture.

Then, incorporate the flour and the baking powder. Mix it well.

Add the fresh cream.

With a pastry bag, pour this mixture in cupcake baking tins and let your cupcakes bake for 20 minutes (180°C).

Get the frosting ready. In a mixer’s bowl, pour the icing sugar and the melted butter. Mix it. Add the milk very delicately. Mix again. Let it dry for 1 hour.

Once the cupcakes are baked and cooled, you can frost them. Put your frosting in 3 different bowls. Add 3 to 4 drops of red food colouring in one of them, and 3 to 4 drops of blue food colouring in another one. Mix delicately.

Using a knife or a spatula, decorate your cupcakes as showed on the photo above!

Hi there, my lovely fruity readers! Today, I am very glad to share a very yummy & summery recipe I tasted not a long time ago, and that is a pure wonder! I think I simply fell in love with this fruity tartlet, discovered on Celine’s blog, Les Demoizelles… and believe me, it was “love at first sight” :p!

Plus, though the weather’s a bit better, it is still quite chilly and I really needed to be reminded that summer was actually coming pretty soon! In a few words, I wanted to feel those sweet summer nights, when one usually finishes their lovely meal on a terrace with a fresh & fruity dessert such as that one!

Thus, for this particular reason, I also wanted to take you, my lovely ones, to this very sweet summer landscape! Ready?! Here’s the recipe then …

Wooo, I reckon you’re all very excited about making this little treat now, aren’t you?! So, I wish you a very nice fruity trip to your favourite summery landscape and I hope you’ll enjoy it (but I’m actually sure you will :p!!!)

Hey my lovelies! Today, by this beautiful sunny British Sunday, I would like to share a Zoe Macaron’s muffins recipe. I must admit that I DEFINITELY am a muffin lover, muffin addict, or whatever you want… you got the idea :p!

I was doing my daily blog reading when I came across this very yummy-looking Banana & Raspberry Muffin recipe, and I simply couldn’t not share it with you! They’re very easy to make and just SO DELICIOUS!!! Plus, I am still working on my article with a new reference to the lovely person I met about a month ago…

Thus, so as to make you wait a little bit more, I thought that such a lovely & delicious recipe like this one would, without any doubt, make your day 😉

Ingredients (for about 10 muffins)

250g flour

2 eggs

60g brown sugar

80g butter

1 baking powder bag

1 vanilla sugar bag

2 or 3 ripe bananas

125g raspberries

Recipe

Melt the butter.

In a bowl, mix the flour, the baking powder, the brown sugar and the vanilla sugar so as to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Add the 2 eggs, the previously mashed bananas and the melted butter.

Mix the whole thing.

Then, add the whole raspberries and mix gently so as to keep the raspberries as intact as possible.

Butter your baking tin(s) and fill them with the mixture.

Put in the oven for 10 to 18 minutes (depending on the power of your oven ;)!).
